Summary: "The Starvel Hollow Tragedy: An Inspector French Case" by Freeman Wills Crofts is a detective novel likely written in the early 20th century. The narrative follows Inspector French as he investigates a tragic fire that resulted in the deaths of three individuals in a remote Yorkshire home, Starvel. The story centers on Ruth Averill, the orphaned niece of the miserly deceased, as well as the unfolding investigation led by the diligent Inspector French, uncovering layers of mystery and potential foul play associated with the incident. At the start of the book, Ruth Averill is introduced in a gloomy setting, feeling trapped in her life at Starvel, where she endures a distant relationship with her miserly uncle Simon. As she prepares for a chance to escape her dreary surroundings through a visit to a friend, she receives shocking news about a fire that has claimed her uncle and the Roper couple's lives. The opening lays the groundwork for a gripping mystery filled with personal loss, as Ruth grapples with her emotional turmoil in the aftermath of the tragedy. The subsequent inquest reveals various aspects of the deceased’s lives while hinting at underlying tensions and potential clues, setting the stage for French's investigation into whether the fire was truly an accident or something more sinister.
